Start following the tutorial at http://docs.python.org/tut
You'll see it menctions a few ways to process a file; the cleanest
alternative to do it one line at a time is:
for line in some_file:
# do something with line
The interactive interpreter is great to experiment:
py> x = "some text"
py> x.startswith("#")
False
py> y = "## another text"
py> y.startswith("#")
True
